It was day 9 of the 12-day cruise. Sitting with my family at the dinner table, I interrupted the conversation and asked if I could be excused so I could go see some friends that I had met on our cruise.

I went back to the room, changed, grabbed my phone then went out. The usual…

my house”. This conversation allowed the children to build language, communication and teacher/child interactions. The children and I enjoyed the book, because it showed us the role of jobs in our community. The visual was a wonderful addition to the children interrupting the correct language with the proper community person. The children took turns matching the flash cards. They often ask questions like “Who is this”? And “What do they do”? It seems to be a lot of conversation and language…

the experiment. During this conversation, I noticed that there was a low level of engagement and because we only have a basic relationship established. This means that I have not learned how to read her physical communication. Our simple conversation can be explained through the Transaction Model of Communication (pg. 14).

Practicing self-awareness would require for both to know how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors affect others and to manage themselves so that the other person can feel as important part of the conversation. This could also helped them be more comfortable with themselves so they can relate to other with genuine confidence and kindness.

Goodreau asked the class? Everyone began making conjectures about the basics of factoring and where Erika could have made a mistake. All were valid reasons, but none were correct. As the conversation went on the reasons became more absurd and out of control. Here I was thinking I’m so funny and amidst the conversation I hollard “Maybe she’s on her period”.
